“If You Don't Teach From The Heart, Don't Teach.”

Eddie Quinn

The Approach

This is my unique method of self-defence. It’s quick and easy to learn, is practical and effective, and is easy to maintain. The Approach is a functional method of self-defence for people from all walks of life.

I teach a syllabus that reflects a number of core physical and psychological principles. The syllabus includes ground, footwork, elbow, striking and kicking forms and a salutation that incorporate all the key principles of movement.

Childsafe Martial Arts

I created and began teaching Childsafe in 1998. Currently i’m teaching over 250 children every week during term times in the Solihull area. It’s a really big commitment and a very important part of what I do.

Eddie presented The Approach in a very easy and and no nonsense way. The techniques can be used effectively without any modification, and most of the techniques are transferable to the use of baton. A very good seminar and very job relevant. Strongly recommended.

I highly recommend The Approach, awesome system and awesome teacher.

Ola B.

Police Inspector, Norwegian Police

The Approach is a very suitable system for police officers as it requirers very little training for the officers to be efficient, and thereby gaining confidence in their abilities. It is very easy to learn and easy to maintain. By using the most durable parts of the body as weapons like the hammerfists and elbows, you are also ensuring that you don't get injuries that may restricts your duties after the altercation like handcuffing, writing reports etc. The core movements of The Approach is also very transferable to baton use also. You have one system that covers empty hand and weapons use. Highly recommended for all law enforcement personnel.
